    Dip powder - C21 with white chrome
    Kelley N.

    I've been coming here for 2 years now and I always leave super satisfied and in love with the results! The staff are all nice and very welcoming. After the first few visits, they already remembered my name which I think is really nice and shows that they pay attention to their returning clients. Recently, I came in for a dip powder manicure. Hanh was my nail tech and she did an amazing job. She was very meticulous and kept checking in with me during every step. The length and shape were exactly what I wanted. I wasn't going to add chrome but I felt like the color needed something a little extra, so she added it and the results were perfect. Highly recommend coming here for your manicures and pedicures.

    There are a few nail places in my area but I go here every time. I am always adamant about using my own nails with the intent to grow out. It had been some time since I gone so my nails were not in the best shape. They were able to salvage my nails (despite being broken) by not only shaping it in a great way but also adding the gel builder. They informed me it would help retain my natural nails but at the same time make it last longer. I came in with a color preference but fell in love with the cat eye nails they do. Perfect for the new year and will come back again!!

    Builder gel manicure with gel polish

    Puffin nails is my go to nail location. Every nail technician I have worked with has been top notch! I have tried all of their gel pedicures, and highly recommend, when you can, to try the more deluxe pedicures - they're exceptionally relaxing! What I have really found amazing is how wonderful each of the technicians I have had who have done my builder gel manicures. Each person has taken a lot of time to be precise while creating the perfect shape of the nail. I highly recommend them not only because of the quality, but the price! Puffin nails also has an amazing selection of nail colors for regular polish, gel, and dip. It is also exceptionally easy to make an appointment in person, on the phone, or via yelp. I highly recommend puffin nails for quality work, competitive pricing, great color selection, and a very fun vibe.

    Love this place! Everyone is always super nice and friendly! Prices are super reasonable!

    Lin did amazing once again!! Came out just like the inspo pic I showed her! Not to mention I was in and out with a mani/pedi in 1 hr. 2nd time coming here and I'm so impressed And thank you for adding on the pedi last min!!! Very accommodating salon

    Absolutely love this nail salon! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with such a warm and friendly atmosphere. Eric; the owner is very accommodating and he makes sure you're satisfied with the service before you leave the nail salon. The staff are incredibly meticulous and pay amazing attention to every detail--my nails have never looked better. Thanks to Lily who does my dip manicure and Katie for my pedicure with the best foot massage. Also the massage chairs are so relaxing, and the whole place is clean, and inviting. Truly a top-notch experience every time. Highly recommend if you want quality and care all in one. Puffin Nails is the best.

    Amazing experience! Yuni and Katie were wonderful. I made an appt on Thursday for a Saturday morning appt. Originally asked for a gel mani/pedi for me and just a regular pedi for my mom. But my mom ended up changing her mind, day of, and they were able to accommodate her for a gel mani as well. They were clean, efficient, and we didn't feel rushed at all, despite them being very busy. The decor was also super cute and girly! Would definitely recommend and visit again when I'm in the area.

    I'm so glad I found Puffin Nails after moving to Concord. I've been coming here actually every few months for the last 2 years or so. I am surprised it took me this long to leave a review! It's a clean, cute neighborhood nail salon with easy parking in the big shopping center. I usually text Eric a couple of days ahead and he somehow always fits me in. As a fellow small business owner, I really appreciate how hands-on he is. I've seen him here daily, and you can feel the care and sacrifice it takes to run a great local business. Service is consistently excellent. I come for dip powder manicures and gel pedicures, and no matter who I'm booked with, the work is meticulous. They've got brand-new pedicure chairs, everyone is friendly, and appointments actually start on time (rare!). If I arrive early, they'll begin the soak-off right away, which is super efficient. They also have a ton of colors to choose from. Although I am a neutral girly, their selection is huge and you can really find whatever color you're looking for. I've seen a lot of people get cute designs when I go in too. If you're looking for a dependable Concord nail salon for dip manicures or gel pedicures, support this small business. Puffin Nails delivers beautiful results, great service, and a welcoming vibe every time. You can also grab a coffee next door before too! Its a great location! Here is a photo of my latest set from a few days ago.

    I booked a pedicure here. I was told over the phone it was $50 for a regular pedicure. When I…read morearrived I was handed a menu and they it didn't list basic pedicure, instead it had options such as "lavender pedicure," which I chose for $60. I also asked for a set of nails. I already had acrylics on which the nail artist ended up removing. I was surprised that the removal of the acrylic nails was painless. Five stars for not popping my nails off! The nail artist who did my pedicure was kind. Her massage was good. I couldn't really tell I had a lavender pedicure I just saw some purple scrub being applied to me which is okay. The set of nails they put on me were called Gel X for $65 a set. The nails took much quicker time to place than an acrylic set. After a week and half about three came off which is good because I have kids my hands are always in the water for dishes, or for cleaning so they held up well. When I went back in to have them fixed I was told over the phone I would need a new set. The other seven nails left on me were attached very well. I was wandering how much it was going to hurt to have them taken off. Luckily, they didn't remove them and in fact filled them for me! I appreciate this. No pain! I love my Gel X nails. They are perfect. This has become my go to place. Only thing I would recommend is to ask for a punch card if it's your first time here when checking out. I was given one the second time because I believe they didn't remember to give me one the first time. I haven't used the card, but I think it's got some kind of freebie or discount once your punches are filled up. I also like this place because they ask if you want a massage after a Gel X set.

    This was my first time here. I was there from around 10am to 2pm for a manicure and pedicure…read more The pedicure turned out well. I asked for a pink base with a French tip and wanted my toes shaped as square as possible. They accommodated my request to switch to a pinker base color and the final result on the toes looked good. The manicure was a different experience. I asked for simple 3D flowers similar to the inspiration photos. The process took a very long time, so instead of multiple flowers we only did one flower on each ring finger. Before applying the flowers, the nail tech painted black outlines underneath them. Once I realized the black would still be visible, I asked whether it would be covered and was told it would not. I then had to ask for that part to be removed and redone. The 3D flowers themselves came out uneven and bulky compared to the inspiration photos, and I had to ask for some of the petals to be reshaped. There is also still some black visible underneath the white polish. At checkout I was quoted $250, which was unexpected given the design and final result. I asked for a breakdown of the pricing. The pedicure was initially listed at a higher tier than the one I selected, and after checking with the nail tech they corrected it back to the $50 pedicure I originally asked for. The rest of the total came from separate charges for French tips, gel, flowers, length of the nails and the manicure services. After small discounts, the final total was $230 before tip. Overall, the appointment took about four hours and the final manicure did not match the quality or pricing I expected. Pictured are side by sides of my nails and toes vs the inspo pics

    finding a nail tech isn't easy -- especially in an area where there's so many options. you try a…read morefew, but it's kinda like cinderella... you're just waiting for the right fit. after doing some scrolling and reading reviews, I decided to give Beau Den Spa a shot. the photos looked great and the feedback seemed solid, so I finally worked up the courage to call. kimmy answered and was so sweet -- she asked what i needed and booked me for 10:15 AM the next day. when i arrived, i was greeted right away by a gentleman at the front, and one of the women immediately recognized it was me (happened to be kimmy), which felt really welcoming. although my appointment was at 10:15, i wasn't seated until around 10:30/10:45, but honestly, i didn't mind. they offer refreshments (tea, coffee, water), which was a nice touch. my nail tech was vi (i hope i'm spelling that right!). i came in with a full set from another shop, and i really appreciated that they don't let your nails sit in acetone forever. she removed my old set carefully and started prepping me for gel-x. i went with a stiletto/almond shape, which is totally new for me, so i was nervous but excited. long story short: i LOVE my nails. vi told me my fingers were made for the length and shape (maybe she was hyping me up, but i'll take it ). she also did my pedicure, and the experience was just as good. the bowl had lemons, lemon leaves, and i think even roses? the water temperature was perfect. it felt luxurious and relaxing. i spent about $200 (including a $20 tip). yes, it's pricey -- but in today's economy, that's not uncommon and it's pretty fairly priced compared to the other shops in the area. if you care about quality and the overall experience, i'd say it's worth it. and having Starbucks nearby doesn't hurt either. definitely coming back.

    This place is a gem and worth every dollar spent!…read more I've been to quite a bit of nail salon places in Concord/Pleasant Hill/Walnut Creek area. There are some that are good, but unfortunately some that makes you not want to treat yourself in getting your nails done. That was what happened to me last year. A place I will not name, just shellacked the acrylic powder on my nails extremely thick, making me look like I have some nail related abnormality. And as a people pleaser, I just decided to deal with it and cry on my way home. That experience made me not want to get any more manicures. Fast forward to now. I missed feeling pretty and got super inspired by the nail art that the IG algorithm threw at me. I wanted to treat myself to a manicure with some art to celebrate Lunar New Year. This was a last minute game day decision, so during my appointment at Beau Den Spa, I surprised the owner with a picture inspiration... and she went above and beyond! She could've told me "I can't do them within the time frame of our appointment" or "nope." She probably could say "oh hell no" and I'd completely understand. I even said she can simplify them...but she did it all! They are the best nails I've ever had! Not an exaggeration but legit! She is extremely talented and meticulous. If you ever want to get elaborate nail art done, this is the place to go. Just make sure to let them know in advance of the complexity so that they ensure ample time is set aside. My mother is a huge fan of their pedicures. It's the only place that I know in the area that provides the highest quality of service. They do not rush nor do they speed their massages. Their name fits their services. You do indeed feel that you're getting a spa treatment. There are probably cheaper places to get your nails done in the area, but this place is where the quality standards matches the price point.

    Loveee my nails done by Tracy. I highly recommend making an appointment with her…read more This is my second time at this salon. The first time i booked with a random tech and unfortunately my nails didn't come out as expected. However, Tracy fixed them and was very professional about it. Tracy is the owner and takes a lot of pride in her work and definitely cares that you walk out of the salon happy with your nails. The salon itself is clean, decorated cute, and there's lots of parking in the area.

    You NEED to patronize this business if you do gel-x, BIAB, or just gel nails. ESPECIALLY Janelle! I…read moredrive all the way from Berkeley just to get my nails done here. They're one of the few nail salons that openly tells you they do gel-x fills, and doesn't pretend they can't fill gel-x even though they do BIAB. I refuse to have my nails reduced to painful sheets of paper because a salon wants to refile the entirety of my nail beds every time I want to change my manicure! Just, NO. Honest salons like K-Lux should be the standard. Janelle's gel-x sets have lasted me longer than a month, no lifting, whereas every other nail tech I've tried anywhere has my gel-x lifting before 2 weeks is even up. If you were about to give up on gel-x, try Janelle before you do! Even though her sets are long-lasting, I'm pretty much dedicated to going every 2 weeks for a fill when I can find the time! Plus they have every single chrome, glitter, crystal, and color you could ever want. It's NOT just what's on the shelves, the swatch decks, the boards, and books. They have drawers full of stuff you don't see. If you have a color you want and you don't see it, just show them! Glass cat eye? They have it. Glitter cat eye? Yup. Airbrush nails? Yes please. 3D designs? Uh-huh. With the selection of accoutrements I haaaaave seen, I wouldn't doubt they also have things like jelly polish, Mylar, flowers, and nail charms. Don't be afraid to ask! Did I mention they stay open til 7PM!!! on weekdays??? Um, yes!!! Just one star off because although they do acrylic, I'm not sure if their removal is soak-off and e-file, or ripping the nail off your bed like most salons, but I'm pretty sure if you asked them to do a soak-off and e-file removal, they would honor that if you preschedule, or they have the time on a walk in. But those are just the vibes I get. I could be wrong. Again, it never hurts to ask. It's a clean, chic salon with a good vibe, and it always smells nice in there. They're accommodating as long as you communicate with them. Try them out. PS. They're gentle with their e-files LOL vital information.
